A seemingly intoxicated moose has been discovered entangled in an apple tree by a stunned Swede.

Per Johansson, 45, says he heard a roar from his neighbour's garden in the Gothenburg suburb of Sarolate and found a female moose kicking about in the tree.

The animal was apparently drunk from eating fermented apples.

With the help of police and rescue services, Mr Johansson managed to set the moose free in part by sawing off tree branches, but the animal appeared confused and wandered into Mr Johansson's garden, where she spent a few hours sleeping it off.
